A HEART-stopping video released shows the harrowing moment Peter Lea, aged 34, committed a knifepoint robbery at a Frodsham store.

- BY MEGAN BANNER

On the afternoon of Tuesday, March 18, Lea menaced a shop worker with a knife on Main Street, demanding the till’s cash before making off with around £500.

Immediately after the incident, Cheshire Police raced to the scene, using CCTV footage to identify Lea as the perpetrator.

During questioning, he remained silent, but that did not stop his later charge for the crime committed.
